Tom Sandoval is being picked apart online for having the gall to compare the notoriety of his cheating scandal, Scandoval, to O.J. Simpson’s trial and George Floyd’s murder.

The New York Times asked the “Vanderpump Rules” star, 41, in a profile published Tuesday why he thought his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss had gotten “so big” in the media, and he responded that he is “not a pop-culture historian really” before putting his foot in his mouth.

“I witnessed the O.J. Simpson thing and George Floyd and all these big things, which is really weird to compare this to that, I think, but do you think in a weird way it’s a little bit the same?” he added.
